your car looks f***ing sick man. what rear blackout panel do you have? your car's *** is so damn good looking that i'm thinking about pulling my stripes off tinting the taillights and doing a blackout in between.

Id datalog the a/f ratio with your tuner just to see where its at. I suspect that your a/f ratio is probably a little rich so you might wanna check that out and possibly pull a little fuel out and pick up some extra power. Just some thoughts. With a catted x and flows with a JLT CAI, i needed to add fuel because of the high amount of ethanol in our fuels around here...as much as 8% in some places. And getting the a/f ratios to where they should be will really help.

Thanks again for all the compliments!! :-)
Thanks man! It's actually painted in between the lights. I wanted something permanent so I got it painted. Only cost me $50, but you could probably do it yourself much cheaper. I just didn't trust myself sanding and painting my own car lol
aight cool, I'll definitely check into that. I'd like to squeeze every little bit of power out of it as I can lol
Another question.... When I do add the TB/Plenum/CAI, how noticeable will it be? Basically is it worth the money?

The CAI will be literally like 2rwhp if that. Id just do the silencer delete and k&n drop in. The tb/plenum upgrade will be a lot better. Accufab is the best in my opinion. They are more expensive but they perform the best and look the best. So I would look into those items...but forget about the CAI. If you wanna do something to get rid of that ugly rubber intake hose, get a JLT RAI and get it painted silver to match your car. That will look awesome. But when you do all those air upgrades, youre gonna be in the same lean situation that i was in before my road tune. But it definitly pulls a lot harder after my actual tune. No numbers but i could tell a night and day difference.
